2017 January/February President's Message

Embracing Change?

After our last board meeting in October 2016 we created a
“NAIFA Steering Committee” to evaluate, strategize and discuss impactful change
that would attract new members, retain current members and keep members
involved in their local associations and communities.

After a handful of phone conferences, the Steering
committee came up with the idea of the “One Washington Initiative” to help
Unify, Simplify and Energize our membership.

The committee felt it would be more efficient to brand our
membership more consistently as one unified NAIFA Washington.

The committee felt it would be more efficient to simplify
the governance requirement by reducing or eliminating the individual local
association’s legal obligations, freeing up local resources to focus on more
important events or projects.Get more
by asking less of current membership.

The committee felt preservation of identity in local
associations was necessary for programs, participation and membership growth.

The NAIFA One Washington Initiative was outlined and
discussed with your local leadership that were in attendance at the State Board
Meeting on January 25th in Olympia WA.Please contact your local leadership to learn
more about the proposed Initiative.

If you have further questions please contact Jenna Olson
our State Executive and she will have one of the Steering Committee leaders
reach out to you.

What I like about this idea is that each Chapter would retain their signature events. It feels like to me that we may even have greater participation in each of these events as we will be more connected.
